Carp! Now I know this stuff can be very.... weird. It seems silly how many ' hidden' and extra partitions are being created automatically... I could suggest more repair actions, but I realize they will not really help, as I got too little info currently... What change did set this all off then? (Mind you, I would not be surprised if you could not tell! The last time I installed an SSD to replace a traditional harddisk, it somehow ended it up with the main OS on it, but its boot partition was on the old one...) And there's no way you can get it to run simply? Just enough to get IL2 running? Idea: Use a USB stick, use that as system partition? Just for a temporary solution!

Is nice. Thanks you very much...

They did on mine!

That's what I am thinking Crash, no reason to re-install the drivers. Some people will not agree. Oh well...

Thanks for that! Confirmed, same happened here, while 'clean install' was off. Most settings changed back to default, though not all ...

Agreed...! (But... why the over-dramatic music? Does not need it.)

Yes but, No but, ... No problem, I've asked, and they said "That'll easily be buffed out later" .... And, yes, well, behind the camera, there's no bridge no more... And if I face the camera the other way, there'll be noting to film!

More cars arrived at the bridge today... it's gonna be a massive traffic jam in the end... These are mighty fine detailed models ... Oh, and, I did get my hands on a new set of a 16 LED-String More cars are on their way.... Quiz time comin' ...

Thanks for that Crash! (It's been in my Shopping Cart for a few months now, think it's time to run to 'Checkout'

It needed a bit of touching up, not caused by the heat, but by me ripping the LED's off

Happy Birthday both!

Massive Bird yer takin' up there... Power!

Oops... In trying to 'optimize' the power supply of the 14 Leds along the arc... I managed to burn half of them... that stinks! And the other half produces less light.... So, ripped them all off.... Oh well...

Your 'launcher' will probably be in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\Launcher.exe" (If you are using 64 bit W7) With this info, you should be able to manually add it to the NVidia profile. (Select the path-text, copy it, and use Ctrl-V via 'Add' then 'Browse')

Well, just in case the bridge gives way me thinks...

Yeah, I did not make the effort to set them up on the bridge and all just for the pictures.... but the idea is clear: The scenery of the bridge's city side will be the filming of a scene of the movie 'A Bridge Too Far' Used this picture of the actual situation back in '76 for inspiration:

My Global settings: Launcher.exe settings:

(...deleted stuff) Oh dear, sorry, never realized this was for CLoD ! ...

The German assault on the bridge, September 18th, 1944 Question is, is 1/72nd scale good enough? Should I paint the remaining 19 figures?

Hm, that's a good idea Mick, on one end of the Bridge the Germans attack, and all the cars in "modern time" on the other end... Or a huge traffic jam waiting for the filming to finish

Forgot I also got this stuff: Just to test whether I can recreate the storming of the bridge by gruppe Gräbner: "While the Reconnaissance Battalion was scouting to the south of Arnhem, Colonel John Frost's 2nd Battalion of the British 1st Airborne Division had advanced into Arnhem and prepared defensive positions at the northern end of the bridge. Gräbner returned from his scouting mission to the south on the morning of 18 September, and ordered about half of his reconnaissance unit, numbering about 22 armored cars, half-tracks, and a few trucks, to attack north across the bridge. Gräbner's exact intentions remain a mystery, but he apparently either hoped to recapture the bridge or to race through the British positions to assist the rest of the division in its defense of Arnhem. Either way, the attack was a complete disaster. The Paras were ready, and after allowing the first four vehicles to pass, they opened up with PIAT anti-tank weapons, flamethrowers and small arms fire. In two hours of fighting, the Reconnaissance Battalion was virtually annihilated, losing 12 vehicles out of 22 in the assault and around 70 men killed, including Gräbner. This action is depicted in the film A Bridge Too Far.[5] (From Wikipedia: Click)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bohcvwiljjI Added some more lighting (the original 4 street lights are switched off here) Compared to RL: And got me a new model, A-Ford, lol. It's on there... bit too big scalewise, but... oh well.... Reason I tried this? Well, I stumbled upon a really cheap (2 Euros!) string of 20 LED's of the right colour... I had to remove 6, and what was worse... the gap between two lights in the original string was 10cm's, where I needed at least 13cm's. Yes, indeed. Thirteen times I had to add four cm's of electrical wire... twentysix times cutting a wire, Fiftytwo times welding them all back together with the good 'ol'e soldering iron.... And that's just the one side of the bridge... do I really want to do the other side as well?

lol!

Jets? More of 'm? For IL-2? No frikkin' way! This mod is, as of now, ' VERBOTEN, JA!"
